Los déficits menores y las secuelas conductuales en los niños con riesgo de discapacidadpueden producir limitaciones y condicionar el rendimiento escolar a medio y/o largo plazo. Se han evaluado 95 niños de tres años de edad, distribuidos en tres grupos: de riesgo con apoyo a padres (G1); de riesgo con tratamiento estándar (G2); y de iguales sin riesgo (G3) con el objetivo de analizar las diferencias en desarrollo y comportamiento. Se les realizó un examen neurológico y se evaluó el desarrollo y el comportamiento. Comparando a los niños del G1 y G2 se observan diferencias significativas en el número de secuelas neurológicas menores. Los tres grupos presentan un nivel de desarrollo dentro de la normalidad, aunque los grupos de riesgo obtienen puntuaciones más bajas. Los datos relativos al comportamiento no muestran la existencia de problemas importantes, aunque se observan diferencias entre G2 y G3 en problemas de atención. Los niveles de ansiedad de los padres y madres de los tres grupos no son significativos, aunque se observan diferencias inter-grupo. La intervención con los padres ha podido influir positivamente en la capacidad de adaptación e interacción de sus hijos.
